Compile/Run-time Errors and IDE Event Logs

Hello everyone,

I'm a student working on a project for my Masters Thesis where I would like to get a readable file which tracks errors in the IDE and also tracks a user's interaction with the GUI of PyCharm. My research is on understanding the programming habits of students who are just beginning to learn how to program, and trying to find deterministic factors which will reflect their performance in the class. With that being said, I need to collect some data of all events that occur in the IDE.

I have found some binary log files and console logs, but I don't think they're readable. If anyone could point me to some resources or files that already exist in PyCharm that could help me out, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!
